Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MKO_FataLKaDe FATALKADE (@MKO_FataLKaDe) reported

    Is it just me, or is there an enormous amount of lag in unranked Overwatch 2?

  • DevinPeirce2 Kryonik Gaming (@DevinPeirce2) reported

    Why is the FPS scene dogshit. BF and Halo 2042 are both dead games. Apex gets stale a week after playing. COD has new issues every other week. Overwatch suffers from lack of appropriate balancing and matchmaking woes.

  • PIzBuffMercy Please Buff Mercy (@PIzBuffMercy) reported

    Overwatch 2 Season 3 Mercy nerfs: I'd rather they just delete Mercy than doing these nerfs. I'd rather have no character to avoid playing OW2 rather than salvage some broken kit character. Mercy's kit revolves around mobility so nerfing her movement cripples everything about her.

  • Myrverion Himboverion the dilf hoarder (@Myrverion) reported

    @Portergauge This is the most Riot Games kind of nerf that if you told me that Overwatch was balanced by League developers I would believe you. Nerfing everything BUT the problem of hero in hopes that those nerfs will even out the overpowered parts of kit is such a weird approach.

  • lukester9626 Luke white (@lukester9626) reported

    Problem with overwatch 2 going free to play is the noobs. Us veterans are struggling for decent teammates😐😐

  • skilllessbacon skilllessbacon (@skilllessbacon) reported

    Its about overwatch and how ****** activision blizzard is/was. They removed the problem people but it feels icky to play. Ill still play it though because theres no other game rn that makes me happy(ish). Im just tired of feeling guilty about it.

  • MOTHERMAXYNE 𝓜𝒂𝒅 𝓜𝒂𝒙𝒙𝒊𝒆 .ᐟ (@MOTHERMAXYNE) reported

    i’m so sick of mercy being the fallback character to blame for all of the problems in overwatch

  • calioops calioops (@calioops) reported

    @CanYouPetTheDog WHAT!? Overwatch directly supports/ed people who perpetuated the problems that lead to the horrible Blizzard actions. They STILL do. So you're ok with shunning HL devs work, who had nothing to do with JK's beliefs?? Just say you goofed, what ********?

  • Masakiss1 Masakiss (@Masakiss1) reported

    It has been 3 seasons since the dev team started saying they would rework on some heroes. So far we have seen no hero reworks but only minor number changes. Sniper and One-Shot issues remain. Support is still a prey for Tank and DPS. #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • BlyZeraz Bly Zeraz (@BlyZeraz) reported

    @CanYouPetTheDog Both are bad. That's the take. They both are bad cases to support. You don't gotta try justifying nothing. Just say you realized you don't wanna support the trashy Wizard game. There is no reason to bring up overwatch unless its to say you learned the issue there too.

  • su11yboy Sully (@su11yboy) reported

    @divalusts DBD players are delusional, but Overwatch players are a special kinda stupid when they still find ppl to blame, despite their K/D blatantly showing they're the problem, and just dog ****.

  • AightWhiteBoi Niko (@AightWhiteBoi) reported

    @CanYouPetTheDog Bobby kotick makes more money from $60 spent on overwatch than rowling makes from $60 spent on HL, you just dont care because his issues arent as publicly facing.

  • KinoMystbleidd Kino (@KinoMystbleidd) reported

    @AccursedVenom @Ask_Spectrum I'm having the same issue, 100% packet loss. Can join Xbox parties, can't connect to games like Overwatch and Apex

  • azalea_ow ⋆ 𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘴𝘦 ⋆ (@azalea_ow) reported

    never been so disappointed with the overwatch team. the whole community as well as mercy players were completely ok with having a rework put on rez and damage boost. we all agreed they were the problem. they enabled a broken hero. but the fact they change everything BUT those…

  • TheFenixDown Fenix (@TheFenixDown) reported

    The Overwatch team has been acknowledging their is a Support problem for such a long time, and their only answer is to continue to nerf the role? I’ll be back for PvE.

  • InternetSlug natures lathe made for ripping flesh (@InternetSlug) reported

    lmao the pet the dog account only actually posting about it on main after everyone pointed out it was spineless he didn't in the first place and also hoping people ignore that he had no problem promoting overwatch smack in the middle of the abuse **** coming out

  • oxycomptons Lance Vance (@oxycomptons) reported

    overwatch and apex both not dropping new characters in order to re-balance and actually fix their games is pretty based and i hope it happens more in the future

  • bb_boogs boog 🌸 (@bb_boogs) reported

    rip to srydaddy overwatch i can't remember my login info 🫡

  • Its_A_Bluebird Blue (@Its_A_Bluebird) reported

    wtaf is up with overwatch completely ruining supports now like brig is ******* unplayable and has been for the last four months if not longer and now they've OBLITERATED everything about mercy.......EXCEPT for what the actual issues with her were!!!!!!!!!

  • RiseFrog545 RiseFrog545 (@RiseFrog545) reported

    @Gabe0038 The real problem is playing Overwatch in 2023

  • raharuburneracc ʞʇ (@raharuburneracc) reported

    im really glad the overwatch devs are actually listening to feedback like the bp, skin prices, and map pools, and actually trying to fix things to make them right. maybe overwatch wont fail again, hopefully.

  • dub1ino dysfunctional (@dub1ino) reported

    question for the overwatch community: why is it that mercy, a low mechnical character, should have her defining “techs” nerfed or removed? other characters’ “techs” are never mentioned, but mercy having good movement is an issue??? with such a low floor low ceiling…

  • CaseyAether Casey Aether ♦️ (@CaseyAether) reported

    @DroneKittenGirl @CH4R10T_TV Fully disagree about tank mirrors, Rein mirrors are literally my favourite matchup in Overwatch. Sojourn mirrors are bad because she's been too OP for too long, the mirror itself is fun to play. Kiriko is a problem because suzu. Mirrors aren't inherently bad, stagnation is bad 1/

  • PreviousStorm35 Sean (@PreviousStorm35) reported

    @AskPlayStation are the servers down me and my friend are trying to play genshin impact and Overwatch 2 and keeps giving us error ws-44360-7

  • ItsAMeMariox 〽️ A R I O (@ItsAMeMariox) reported

    Fix your damn game @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent Overwatch 2 keeps crashing smh

  • oopwes oopy (@oopwes) reported

    i can’t believe we are going to go half a season with mercy being EVEN WORSE in overwatch 2… pls devs attempt to fix people who actually need it. you give us a “buff” that was hella mid and then a nerf into the ground??? i’m irritated.

  • Fps_Kat kat ❀ (@Fps_Kat) reported

    It's funny how mercy was never a problem and everyone wants to be whine babies so **** all you who complained for mercy to be nerfed ya'll ain't getting any healing now :) Ps, overwatch community is big wuss pusses

  • Ex0usT Ex0usT (@Ex0usT) reported

  • GERESantos4 GERE Santos (@GERESantos4) reported
